Investing is more of a common sense than intelligence. An investor with high IQ and low EQ is not intelligent at all. In the contrary world on intelligence is considered as a measured value of IQ, but in the investing world it plays little role. Sure a person with high IQ can calculate the risk and rewards, the sectorial cage growth or even can find his own formula to find multibagger. But if he is fragile on patience and discipline, he won't be the intelligent investor. Investing is a fun process until we see a major loss. When confronted with such situations, we forget everything and the primitive brain of flight or fight gets activated. So most investors sell their holding along with the masses instead of buying more at the discounted price. They know the market is gonna revive sooner and stronger, but they won't listen to their logical mind and keep their selling activity on. Here the fear surmounts every knowledge and experience. So it is important to be an intelligent investor with little common sense and more patience.
Getting out of the matrix is an easy part. All you have to do is analyse the person who has opposite views than yours and try to learn from them as much as you can. What is the hardest part is to realise that you are in a matrix. This matrix is a lot more similar to a prison. The difference is that you know you are in a prison when you are in a prison, but you don't even know there exist a matrix when you are in a matrix. One is visible and the other is not. The only way to realise your position is to ask questions about everything everytime and never stop the process until you get the answer that satisfies you.
